vision goes white and my chip takes control. I can only guess Elaine is also

fighting my father's will.

When I finally begin to regain consciousness I am met with alarms going off

in my head and I’m unable to move. My body feels as if a minefield went off

around me and there are rocks in my chest. I open my eyes and find Elaine’s red

eyes bearing down on me, her sword is against my neck and she's shaking. She

hasn't woken up from her brainwashing yet. Why am I awake?
Elaine is still looking at me when my father orders her to kill me.

“No!” I tremble trying to shake Elaine off me.
All of my defensive and power systems have shut down due to my injuries

and my physical body is so badly burned I can barely lift my arm to push Elaine

off me.
Of course he woke up me but not Elaine, she would never kill me. Sure I do

hate her sometimes, but she’s my sister and I still love her and I know she feels the

same. Elaine could never kill me, right? Even if she was being controlled she

wouldn't, would she?
I look up to my father with all the hatred I have ever felt. How could he do

this to us, force each other to kill the loser and wake up the victim just so they can

watch? I hate him.
My eyes turn to my sister and I silently plead she’ll wake up. She's always

been better at breaking out on her own than me, she’s the one that always fixes our

problems.

“Please, Elaine wake up,” I whisper.
Almost instantly she jumps off of me and screams. I finally relax by closing

my eyes but it doesn’t last long. The room goes red and I know the other mutants

are on their way to apprehend us both. We’re gonna die anyways.

Elaine runs over to me grabbing my arm.
